2 Responses to “11 Ways To Be A Good Minister”

Wow, Craig. Lightning bolt of reality for me. Recently I’ve gotten comments, emails, and messages about me being a minister. I always thank the person for their words but gently remind them I’m not a minister. Then I read this…and now I fear they might’ve been right.

But remember this: The Bible calls all Christians to be ministers. According to Ephesians 4, God gives apostles, pastors, evangelists, prophets and teachers to prepare God’s people to be ministers. Maybe in this list of 11 things I shared, I shouldn’t have used words like “preach” that make it sound like something exclusive to those serving as pastors. But the bottom line: If God has been speaking to your heart about what you need to pursue, pay more attention to His voice than to the voices of others.
